Thank you so much & for putting on such a great masterclass with today in the Athy Food, Drink, and Skills Innovation Hub.

The purpose of today was to look at how food can help share and tell a story. From providence & sourcing to flavours, textures and style it can all help tell a story.

We have a rich story to tell in Athy, especially when focusing on the Story of Ernest Shackleton. I am proud to tell that story in which is in . I am full of ideas and look forward to sharing that story in a much stronger way.

Strawberry season has arrived... and, as the person who is allergic to strawberries, I've done the only sensible thing... handed complete control over to Jenny. ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ˜‚

Fresh back from maternity leave, she's gone into full strawberry mode, and I'm not going to lie... everything looks incredible.

This week's strawberry line-up includes:

๐Ÿ“ Strawberry Shortbread with vanilla buttercream & strawberry jam

๐Ÿ“ Offaly rhubarb & Wexford strawberry crumble

๐Ÿ“ Twice-baked croissant with pumpkin seeds, pistachio frangipane & strawberry jam, finished with ruby chocolate and dried strawberries

Available from tomorrow morning in The Bakery, Rialto & Ernieโ€™s, Athy.

Happy Strawberry Season to all who celebrate!

Every year I tell myself it can't get any better... and every year Kaleidoscope Presented by Glenveagh proves me wrong.

From our legendary porridge parties to decorating cupcakes with nearly 200 amazing kids, it was a weekend full of laughter, flour, sprinkles and a little bit of magic.

One of the best parts is getting to spend time with the incredible Scrumdiddlyumptious crew Theatre of Food John & Sally McKenna | Ireland Jacinta Dalton Sineฬad Oโ€™Halloran, my Nine Bean Rows family Alice Kelly Giselle Makinde | Brazilian Recipe & Food History, and so many wonderful friends old and new Alison curtis Jeeny Maltese -TV Chef

It's those moments between the busy bits that make this festival so special. My heart (and my mixing bowls!) are full.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, said hello, decorated a cupcake, or simply shared a smile.
See you next year, Kaleidoscope. โค๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ

Iโ€™m still taking this inโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ’›

To be named this yearโ€™s Producersโ€™ Champion by truly means more than I can put into words. To be recognised by the very producers I admire, work with, and try to support every day is an honour that feels incredibly special.

Everything Iโ€™ve done, from the to my books to sharing producers online in my A-Z, has come from a genuine love of Irish food and the people behind it.

We are so lucky in this country to have such passionate, talented makers, growers and creatives, and Iโ€™ve always just wanted to shine a light on that.

Thank you to everyone who nominated me and to this amazing community for trusting me to help tell your stories. Iโ€™ll continue to champion you in every way I can.

And to Daithรญ, none of this happens without you. โค๏ธ

Hereโ€™s to celebrating Irish food, supporting local, and continuing to build something really special together ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Welcome back to my Aโ€“Z of Irish Food Producers, this week, weโ€™re on the letter I! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Iโ€™m sharing a simple and wholesome favourite from my book Cook: Porridge & Yogurt Bread, made with natural live yogurt from .

Itโ€™s incredibly easy, just mix everything together and bake in a lined 2lb loaf tin at 175ยฐC for 45โ€“55 minutes.

Ingredients:
350g porridge oats
500g natural yogurt
1 egg, beaten
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
50g mixed seeds
A dash of milk, if required

Thatโ€™s it, no fuss, just good, honest baking.
I hope you enjoy it, and if you give it a try, Iโ€™d love to hear how you get on!

PS: we also sell this bread (and my books) in
